New Poll Finds Trump’s Immigration Policies Still Strongly Supported by the American People

President Trump speaks to reporters on his way to Iowa for a celebratory rally before the 4th of July, 2025.

A strong majority of the American people still support ’s immigration policies, according to a new Harvard/Harris poll.

Democrats have been trying everything they can think of to attack Trump specifically on this issue, but the new poll shows they are wasting their time. Voters of all kinds want the border protected and the removal of people who are in the country illegally.

The only thing Democrats have managed to do is inflame their already radical base, putting ICE agents in dangerous situations repeatedly.

Trump’s policies get strong backing in new poll

A majority of voters gave President Trump’s immigration policies high marks, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released Monday.

Sixty percent of voters surveyed said they support Trump’s efforts to close the border, including 89 percent of Republicans, 55 percent of independents and 34 percent of Democrats.

Seventy-five percent of respondents also said they support the administration’s efforts to deport criminals who are in the country illegally, including 93 percent of Republicans, 70 percent of independents, and 59 percent of Democrats.

“Huge majorities of Americans support the removal of criminals here illegally but also care about human rights and due process being observed,” the poll’s director Mark Penn said.

The same poll found that voters were divided over Trump’s approach to immigration enforcement: 52 percent said the administration was “doing the right thing” in enforcing its immigration policy, while 48 percent said it is “going too far in its enforcement actions.”

The same poll also finds support for the Big Beautiful Bill.

Once again, are on the wrong side of an issue. They just can’t seem to help themselves.
